First, CLEAN IT!! Get some wire loom, zip tie some stuff, paint some stuff and then:

Polish, polish, polish, polish.......

Chrome dip, chrome dip, chrome dip, chrome dip....

Basically, that's the idea to a nice engine bay

Looks like a ton of your parts will need to be replaced if you ever want them to shine. Buy new ones and have them dipped before you even install them.

like araffio said cover up what you can't clean..no need to replace a whole part just for it to be shiny......or clean...try to sand some of it off...

here's mine...

adding color takes your eyes away form the really bad parts just improvise.

I didnt wanna go for color either, just go with chrome if I could. But I used black wire loom on a lot of stuff, to cover up wires and rusty stuff if possible. I just cant seem to pic a color, and that chrome wire loom I hear is useless because when it bends or gets hot i hear it starts to peel. So you kno....
